Records of an Earthly Translation Adaptation (2021)

The creation of a pirate, has led me to investigate my own matter registers from a place in between a genuine self and a blurred portrait of a character without face, highly aware of her
own position. This particular pirate is operating from a place of total privilege, and carries out acts which are potentially life threatening. These events attempt to mess with a system that
proves to have no real interest whatsoever, and explores politics of bodies and their control, ownership and the individuals notion of agency.

The title Recordings of an Earthy Translation Adaptation I stole from the voice recordings of the communication between Nasa and astronauts at the first ever all-women space walk. Translation adaption is what the astronauts go through when their body is adapting to gravity in space.

Exhibited at the Cromwell Place, South Kensington, London, UK, at the RCA Contemporary Art Practice Degree show.
